SB 810 (Single Payer Healthcare) Killed on the California Senate Floor

[Sea star]

25. A poster up above posted about 'hold and release'....

iow, these were the designated NO/Abstain so it would fail and not move on to the Assembly and Governor's desk.

The clue is all except Wright are NOT up for election in 2012, so they made sure they may have picked those who were not in jeopardy.

There's a side-kick effort called Healthy California, purporting to be single payer but never mentioning SB 810. Some think it's a stall job so Brown can come up with his own plan and run with it when he's up for re-election.

We've been down this road before with Obama and the DEMs on the public option, and that turned out to be a ruse to keep us away from single payer HR 676. "Nothing is what it seems....."

In the meantime, the "unhealthy 6" and their districts' map:
